In general, the work of therapy is more inwardly focused and often includes an exploration of the past, whereas coaching allows us to start from the present and focus on future goals. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, or other signs of a mental health condition, it is most likely that therapy is the place to start. If you are dissatisfied with where you are in your life, struggling with relationships, or feeling stuck and seeking to create new habits and opportunities, then coaching might be right for you.

While my practice is primarily telehealth, I offer in-person EMDR and EMDR Intensives in Old Town Pasadena and the Echo Park area of Los Angeles. Please reach out for more information.

My fee for a standard 50-minute telehealth session is $220. The fee for 60-minute EMDR sessions is $250.

Please see my EMDR Intensives page for information on Intensive pricing.

For therapy services, I am able to provide you with a "superbill" that you can submit to your health insurer for reimbursement. Please check with your insurer about your plan's benefits and rate of reimbursement. Please note coaching and EMDR Intensives are not covered by health insurance.

I offer a small number of sliding scale spots based on financial need. Please contact me to discuss options.

Yes, I love working with teens. While I do not see children under the age of 14 myself, I am happy to offer referrals to other therapists that do.

As per the restrictions on my LCSW license, I am only able to practice psychotherapy with legal residents of the states of California and New York. For coaching services, there are no restrictions. Wherever you are, we can work together.

The relationship with your therapist or coach is vital to healing and change. To explore how we might work together, I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation by phone or video call, as per your preference.

No worries, that's what consultations are for! Contact me and we will set up a time to figure it out together.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.
